I'm coming out to San Francisco for a vacation

[WilliamPitt]

the third week of August, the 22nd to the 26th. Anyone feel like getting together for a few beers that Wednesday night?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. come down to So Cal if you want beer that Wednesday :)

and MisU and I will take you to a place that has 250 beers on tap

[rumpel]

17. Yes, let us know when you are in LA

:hi:

[HamdenRice]

2. Well, San Francisco is a great place to "come out"!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

[TwilightZone]

3. Hehe. No kidding.

Nice choice of words there Mr. Pitt.

Was that Freudian? ;)

[TomInTib]

4. Take the ferry to Tiburon

And we'll have a high ol' time on the deck at Sam's. Marin on the water.

[BrotherBuzz]

5. Mmmmm, Ramos Fizz's at Sam's Anchor Cafe in the morning...

is as close to heaven as you can get. :thumbsup:

[ailsagirl]

33. I second that-- Marin is gorgeous!!

[davidinalameda]

6. sounds like a plan

[proud patriot]

7. I can swing out to SF That Wednessday

Do you want to meet at the same location as last time?

someplace different ?

let me know , I'll be there :D

[Silver Gaia]

8. Hey, we'd drive down from Sacramento for that!

Let us know when and where... sounds like a fun time for all!

Edited to Add: If you're gonna be up Sacramento way during your stay, let us know and we'll show you the best pub in Sacramento, just a few blocks away from the state capitol...

[MaryBear]

9. Would love to, Will,

but I'll be working. I remember meeting last time, and what a great hugger you are. I'm sorry to miss getting together.

[slutticus]

10. I'd be down for a few beers.

Count me in.

[WillyT]

11. Hell Yeah... If I Can Get Out Of Work That Thursday !!!

I'll have to check my work schedule tomorrow.

Hey Will!!!

:hi:

[WilliamPitt]

12. Psyched about all the responses here

A week or so before the trip, I will start making some hard plans. Anyone have a suggestion for a good meeting bar?

[proud patriot]

14. I'm a suburb girl , so I really only know the one spot in the city

Hopefuly others who live there will have some ideas .

Taverner found a great spot in Berkeley A brewery with
great food :D and great brews.

[Taverner]

21. Yeah Will

If you don't mind hoofing it (or BART'ing it) across the bay Triple Rock has EXCELLENT beers, decent food and a rooftop garden (and they have no issues with 420 use up there)

[davidinalameda]

22. I want to take him to one of the family friendly SOMA clubs

:bounce:

[Luminous Animal]

23. You mean The Stud?

:-)

[davidinalameda]

24. or Powerhouse

or any of those lovely establishments along Folsom St

[Luminous Animal]

19. Meeting bar...

The Expansion on Market and Church. Ex-old man bar now with a younger crowd and a smattering of old men and with much of the same feel. Very easy to talk in, not too busy and accessable by most transportation venues. Pool table, darts, a great bartender, and an okay juke box.

[Taverner]

13. I will try my damndest to be there

I have a wedding to best man at, and a training to go to afterwards....but I'll be in a partying mood so perhaps.

[XemaSab]

15. I'm going to be in Maine that week

tragically.

Perhaps some other time?

[cally]

16. Tentative yes

I missed the last few so I'm going to try to make this one.

[Taverner]

18. so has it been decided where everyone will meet?

Being an East Bay anarchist, I usually avoid the city for it's traffic.

Nothing against SF...just the severe lack of parking that gets me. And no anarchists to go around blowing up all the parking meters in town.

So where's it gonna be?

[WilliamPitt]

26. It'll probably be in the city

as I will be doing the tourist thing and won't have access to a car.

I was thinking North Beach. Used to be a place on the corner down there called the Condor. It was big and would fit a few people. Thoughts?

[proud patriot]

27. I've never been there but it sounds fine to me

:hi:

[WillyT]

28. Hee, Hee... The Condor... Hmmm... Does Carol Doda Ring Bell ???

Link To Condor Club: http://www.mistersf.com/notorious/index.html?notcondor03.htm

Not sure if it's still there, but... I'm in!!!

:bounce::silly::bounce:

[WilliamPitt]

29. Someone told me

it is something else now.

[Luminous Animal]

30. It is something else now...

I just went by today. It's no longer a strip club and it does serve food. Though it seems it caters mostly to tourists. And there is almost nothing wrong with that.;)

2 things though:

You couldn't find a worse place than North Beach for parking.

It's not so hot in terms of public transporation, either. Especially for those coming from out of town.

[WilliamPitt]

31. In your opinion

what would be the best part of San Fran to gether in.

Bear in mind two things:

1. Medea Benjamin may join us.

2. If you say 'Fisherman's Wharf,' I will light myself on fire.

[proud patriot]

32. by a bart station would be helpful for me

within walking distance anyway .

The only place I know like that is the place we met
last time you met up with us in SF, T's J...Of course that
was across the street from your hotel at the time :D

I wish I knew the city better ...WillyT knows a good
Margarita place I think.

[Luminous Animal]

35. I have standing orders that if I ever say "Fisherman's Wharf"

the person in closest proximity to me gets to cut my tongue out.

La Rondalla in the Mission might be a good choice. On a Wednesday, not bad parking, and close to BART and MUNI. Good drinks and okay food and a convivial atmosphere.


But no doubt, Medea can recommend a place, as well.

[ailsagirl]

34. Uh... I think the Condor is a strip club, no?? Maybe there are two

:shrug:

I would urge you to hang out in Marin... more laid back

[WilliamPitt]

36. It used to be

When I lived in SF, it was just a bar.

[ailsagirl]

37. Didn't know you used to live in the City!! So you know your way

around...

[hvn_nbr_2]

20. I won't likely have a "few" beers...

since I'll have to drive back to the South Bay, but I'd really like to try to make it.

Somewhere either close to BART or with good parking (Is there such a place in the city?) would be good for us suburbanites.

[BeeBee]

25. Sorry I missed you in Santa Rosa

in June... Unfortunately I'll be out of the country in August.

[BeHereNow]

38. Love to, but I'll be in Chicago then

Taking the kid to college:cry:
Empty nest syndrome hitting hard.
Have a great time and a good scotch for me.
